ApacheCon is a week of open source goodness straight from the
source of the Apache Software Foundation, featuring 15 intense
training classes over two days followed by three days of more
than 50 sessions by the creators of open source software such
as the Apache webserver, Tomcat, Lucene, Wicket and more.

ApacheCon Session

Solr Boot Camp

Solr has emerged as THE way to add search services to applications written in any language. Lucene powers Solr's RESTful web services. This all-day training will begin with a Solr overview, and move through installation and configuration. The bulk of session will be spent diving deeply into integrating Solr with various technologies. Solr features caching, replication support for load balancing, faceting, highlighting, more-like-this, simple HTTP protocol supporting XML, JSON, and other formats. Erik will discuss his Solr experiences on the applications he has built with it.
